gingerkid Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Do inverts usually have footer spacing 20' apart, sometimes more? This would only be a space of 10ft, and thats not including track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordSkippy Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 If you're assuming the blueprints are 100% accurate (which, to be honest, they may not be) then you are also assuming it will be an invert due to the fact that the blueprint refers to it as such.

homestar92 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I stand before the council accused of being a B&M fanboy. How cute. Afterburn is the only B&M coaster in my personal top 10. All the same, that means that B&M has one more coaster in my top 10 than Intamin does. Sorry, I know this is 3 pages late. Just got home from work.

LordSkippy Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 ^ I have a feeling we won't be hearing from Intaminisnumber1 any time soon. He appears to have been banned. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where does it refer to it. Can you provide something more that it has the abbreviation for an inverted coaster along with a bunch of random other numbers. And we don't know 100% that that track is for us(even though i think it is, with the matching numbers) If you looked at a single Diamondback support, you would have no idea what it would go to. We are all just presuming it is an invert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE_BEASTmaster Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Just so everyone knows my top 2 steel coasters are a B&M and an Intamin. Diamondback being first and Maverick in second. And I just want to add to this that Maverick and Disaster Transport are/were the only 2 Intamin coasters can I ride/have rode. But due to being a big guy as in proportion, I have trouble getting the the seat belts on. The lap bars or over the shoulder harnesses (on the impulse coaster only) were ok, it's just that the seat belts are too short. I liked Maverick's shoulder restraints because I had no problem with the belt buckles on the harnesses. I just wish I could have been able to ride Millennium Force TTD, and Wicked Twister. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar92 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I'm going to add something here, off topic, but it needs to be said. There have been Intamin fanboys that are very much trolls. Intaminisnumber1 was one of them. He has now been banned. There are Intamin fans who are not trolls, just happen to really enjoy a manufacturer that many among us don't care as much for. YoungStud falls into this group. There are B&M fanboys who are being jerks to the Intamin fans. There are too many to name. There are B&M Fans who have engaged in coherent debate and largely remained clean and appropriate. Again, too many to name. People like YoungStud are valuable members of this forum. They allow us to have conversation, which is what a forum is all about. This place would be really really lame if everyone always agreed about everything. And honestly, I don't think anyone here dislikes Intamin as much as we let on. I think we just like to have some fun with YoungStud. Fortunately, he seems to be a good sport about it. And that is why I, for one, enjoy his company. So thank you, YoungStud. I hope your wildest dreams come true and a reliable, innovative, and forceful Intamin is built at KI one day. B&M Inverts are my all-time favorite non-wooden, non-Arrow coasters, so I'm looking forward to Thursday's announcement. I understand it's probably not as much fun for you. But either way, I hope you stick around, so that we can continue to poke fun at your love of Intamin (all in good fun, of course!) And now, back to our regularly scheduled decoding. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are all just presuming it is an invert. Hate double posting, but there is one proper response to this. If you looked at a single piece of track for Diamondback, you COULD tell that it is not for an Invert or a flyer. The crossties are different. Edit: Just realized you said "support" not "track".

As far as I know, unless Kings Island/Cedar Fair/B&M/CSF is purposely trying to trick us by changing their ride type abbreviations, the blueprints point to an invert.

Creed Bratton Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Sorry having spent 2 days away made it hard to catch up on time. Think about it guys. Diamondback had its own website. It was not a part of the KI website. That 2014 page was mind numbingly simple. Its almost impossible to accidentally make a web page view-able and open like that on mistake. Also, know that the Diamondback website was produced by an outside source. I can't recall who built them. But I'll try to find it if people want me to. Anyway..back to decoding for The Bat.

LordSkippy Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 One of the slides on the KIC homepage now shows a sepia version of "The Bat" webpage.

osu#1 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 55 degree angle of descent?

Diamondback FOF Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I've been thinking today...dangerous at times, but let's just assume the blueprint video is 100% accurate and true. Why was the repeating blue envelope covering the front gate of KI? Could KI be in for an entrance gate overhaul like CP did? I know the KI entrance is very dated and could use a rehab itself. Maybe make the tower more striking and picturesque while outside the park? Maybe bring back a newer, modern International Street Restaurant? Just a though...I haven't heard anybody bring this up yet. I'd personally LOVE to see an overhaul to the KI entrance and gates. -T. Forsaken I'm trying to read and get caught up so this may have been answered but... The blueprints in the video are 100% real and accurate for what was filed with the city. And nothing had been changed on those in terms of the front gate area.

westcoaster Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Does anyone think KI is super lucky as KBF was expecting a coaster soon, could this be the coaster that might have been earmarked for KBF, CF's only all year running park? Just a thought? Maybe a campground for KI and a great coaster, I don't know about height but probably not to compete with Cedar Fair not that high: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
